As always - gorgeous photos - from all across the world! Thanks for posting everyone.
I finally "caught up" and got my photos out of the camera. These cooler temps and all that rain have sure made my daylilies go like crazy this year - and some of my earlies are still blooming 5-6 weeks later. It has never been so good here.
Spider To The Fly and Wayside Red Chief
Easy Ned - growing among my asparagus and Westbourne Blackberry Cobbler
I am pretty sure this is Proudly We Hail - this scape looks like a leek! It's HUGE! I also can't verify this - because I can't find a photo to compare it to anywhere, even the hybridizers website. I never have gotten around to asking him if it is or not. I love this flower no matter what it is, so I don't mind.
Small Carbon Footprint. and August Flame
Steve's Corn Rows - this large flower is on a very short scape - but I just got it a few months ago. Love it
Westbourne Valentine's Day and Lilting Belle - the best it has ever looked.
Sparkling Orange + Fire King + Small Carbon Footprint in the upper corner
And look at this gorgeous little FFO today - Little Surfer Girl, a mini. The photo does NOT do it justice, the colors are more vivid than this - and I just LOVE it. Now it needs to increase a bit (OK, I AM pushing it's zone)
Even though I am past peak, I still have a lot blooming. The cooler weather and excess moisture has helped, but I will admit that some of my ones with teeth - are missing them.I wish I had taken a toothless photo of Tooth Tower today to compare it with ones from several weeks ago
And I have to admit, that at this point, I have to say the absolute best bloomer this summer has been Holly Dancer. There is something to be said for some of these older ones. The color is SO gorgeous, and the number of buds STILL waiting to bloom this year is outstanding. Wish my camera could capture the color and substance of this flower better - I have been trying to get a better picture since it started blooming 5 weeks or so ago.
My Indian Giver, which outdid itself last year, still doesn't have any scapes - I am not sure I will see any blooms on it this season - bummer.
